Also known as

Charles Drew Cahoon, Charles Cahoon

Charles D. Cahoon, identified in authority records as Charles Drew Cahoon, was an American painter (1861–1951) whose works in the collected evidence center on Cape Cod, coastal life, cottages, boats, farms, and seasonal landscapes. Surviving auction examples are chiefly oils on canvas or board, including autumn scenery, a Cape Cod cottage, rowing in fog, and an oceanside farm. These records point to a regional landscape and maritime practice, but the supplied sources do not establish an affiliation with a named artistic movement. Collectors may encounter signed works using “C.D. Cahoon,” as well as unsigned works bearing later inscriptions; those distinctions should be examined as evidence rather than accepted as automatic proof of authorship. Appraisily’s matched auction dataset is small and ends in 2020, so the artist’s market history is best read lot by lot. Authority metadata also contains an unresolved occupation conflict, making careful identity matching important.

Common works and media

The collected examples are predominantly oil paintings on canvas or board. Recurring subjects include autumn landscapes, Cape Cod cottages, oceanside farms, fishermen in small boats, and figures rowing through fog. Signed examples may carry “C.D. Cahoon” at the lower right. At least one recorded image is unsigned and has a later or uncertain verso inscription, emphasizing the need to distinguish a signature made as part of the work from subsequent ownership or attribution notes.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily currently matches 11 public auction records for Charles D. Cahoon, including 10 priced records from 1999 through 2020. The observed results range from $650 to $14,950, but this limited sample should not be treated as a prediction for another work. A useful appraisal comparison should align medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, signature, provenance, and attribution confidence. Restoration, surface damage, uncertain inscriptions, and weak ownership history can make superficially similar paintings poor comparables. Reported auction amounts may also differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees. Private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may not appear in the available record, so current condition evidence and closely matched public sales remain essential.

Appraisal caveats

  • Appraisily reports only 11 matched records and 10 priced records through 2020, so the public-auction sample is thin: https://appraisily.com/artist/charles-d-cahoon/.
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented in the cited dataset: https://appraisily.com/artist/charles-d-cahoon/.
  • An unsigned or later-inscribed work requires separate attribution analysis; an inscription alone should not be treated as proof of authorship: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Drew_Cahoon_-_88d4c5585a.jpg.
